Enamel Wire

Post by demonofaj » Mon Oct 09, 2006 1:38 pm

Well, i finally bought that wire, but really, I got one that had the green kind from the shack, and when I felt it, it was 'all metal'. How do I use it, I can't strip it 'tried'...what do I do?

You just stick it onto the hot solder and the enamel melts off. I need to get some of that stuff. Looks pretty handy.

scraping works best.

however, I think if you have 2 wires too close together (I had a wire from my protection circuit touching a sound amp wire) you get interference. But I'm crazy.

yup, it makes cart slot relocations wicked easy, i wouldnt reccomend it for other stuff though because if you move it around to much it can break.

its kinda a pain to strip though :(
